The pricing is disappointing. I'm surprised Cloudflare has not tried to compete on price against AWS lately after a good start with R2. Queues, database storage, database writes, worker invocation all more expensive than the AWS offering.

Can you back that up with a link? You're saying Lambda is cheaper than Workers?
I said worker/lambda invocation, $0.30/m cloudflare vs $0.20/m for lambda. Total cost depends on async work and memory needs. Cloudflare is $20/m seconds, lambda is $1.66/m seconds, both at 128MB. lambda isn't giving you a full core, if you need CPU it is also $20/m.
Ok so I guess lambda wins on per m requests and only if you're not using api gateway.

In the real world those wins get eaten up by all the other ways CF are better (free egress, no cold start, cpu-time only duration billing).

My verdict: Workers wins on price by a lot.
